Shamim Akhtar is a professor at Faculty
of Pharmacy ~ University of Karachi (Pakistan).
The professor has written a book named as
"Folk Medicine". Author has explained
features of HENNA & they are so beautiful.
- It is good to know that Henna dissolves
excessive flesh on the skin that appears as WARTS.
- Henna is good for healing fire
burns
- Henna is ANTI-HAEMORHAGIC, & is the
best haemostatic agent on our planet
- Henna stops Nasal bleeding (Nakseer),
both ANTERIOR NOSE BLEED & POSTERIOR NOSE BLEED
- Henna is a very strong Anti-Viral
substance, very good for WARTS & Herpes Simplex viral
infections
- Henna can be used as a prophylaxis
especially to protect diabetic patients feet
- It helps to heal fissures and cracks in
the foot and reduces foot infection.
- It improves the skin texture, which look
healthier and softer.
- It may delay the neuropathy effect of
diabetes; in fact it may reverse the early ones. This needs more time to
prove.
- Henna could be used for Back
pain, for ulcerative colitis as enema, & for bleeding duodenal
ulcers.
And for all of the above & other
wonders of HENNA, you only have to rely on PURE HENNA, bring Henna leaves, sieve
them properly to remove dust / soil & have them ground at a mill in front of
your eyes. Powdered Henna in the market is full of chemicals / colors & can
cause adverse reactions.
You can read the portion of author's book
for Henna as under.
Henna.
Henna plant (Lawsonia Inermis) is well known in the Arab and Muslims
world, extensively grown in India and Sudan, and used mainly for cosmetic
purposes.
Over the last many years I have used Henna as medicine after I
read the Hadith that the Prophet (P.B.U.H) ordered anyone who has been pricked
by a thorn or has an ulcer on his leg to put Henna on it.
HENNA USES
1 BURNS
Henna when applied to a first or second-degree burn gives
very good results:
Decreases pain.
Decreases fluid loss from the burn
site, this is important if the burn area is large.
It has anti-microbial
effect hence it decreases infection.
Sticks to the burned site until healing
is complete.
Easy to apply to the burned site as paste or powdered.
Cheap and available.
2 - HEALING PROPERTIES
Henna promotes wound healing especially chronic wounds and ulcers, I
have used it on nuropathic ulcers of the foot and it proved to be very
effective. The main factor that promotes healing is not known but I think it has
this effect by its nourishing effect on the wound and its anti-microbial
properties. If the wound is infected antibiotic cover usually needed.
3 - ANTI-HAEMORHAGIC
I used henna for treatment of Epistasis, and it proved to be very
effective, and give a long lasting cure. And does not need to be applied more
than once most of the times, the powder sticks to the bleeding area until
healed, it works better than cauterization, which most of the times needs to be
repeated and still does not guarantee against that recurrence of the bleeding.
ANTERIOR NOSE BLEED (from little area): Treated by applying the powdered
henna to bleeding spot, using a ready made ear cleaning stick with its cotton
covered end, pack the powder to the site of bleeding, that will stop the
bleeding, rarely it needs to be repeated again and that is really magic way of
treatment for epitasis.
POSTERIOR NOSE BLEED: Which is very difficult to treat as every ENT doctor
knows, with this Henna powder just ask the patient to sniff the powder through
the anterior nostril to make it reach the back of the nose or posterior nostril
and by this action the powder will stick to the bleeding area and the bleeding
will stop, no more do we need to use posterior nose pack which is a nightmare
for the patient and the doctor at the same time. The only side effect of Henna
here is that it causes the patient to sneeze a little. The anti-bleeding effect
of Henna could be used on other sites like bleeding duodenal ulcer or esophageal
varicose. This needs to be tried as far as there are no side effect known.
This anti-bleeding effect may be due to its coagulation like effect or its
locally burning effect.
ANTI-VIRAL.
Henna definitely has an anti-viral effect that became clear by its
action on:
Warts.
We have tried it many times especially on warts which are resistant to cryo
(Nitrogen liquid) treatment and prove effective, one giant wart measuring
1.5x1.5cm on a child thumb which was resistant to all forms of treatment, at
last the child referred to the plastic surgeon for operation, we tried Henna on
it, applied every other day over night and in few weeks it disappeared
completely. The Dermatologist nurse has a wart on her finger for more than two
years that was resistant to liquid nitrogen treatment, we asked her to use henna
and got cured. We found it very useful especially on multiple warts. On warts
Henna is applied as paste.
Herpes Simplex.
The proven and successful effect of
Henna on viral infections is for Herpes Simplex. We applied it in powdered form
to herpes site, we noticed: It dried the vesicles at the site early. It prevents
ulceration and crust formation. It prevent secondary infection. Henna is applied
on herpes in powdered form.
This anti-viral effect of Henna is very
promising, and should be explored further, It could used as treatment for AIDS.
It is natural, cheap, and has no side effects even when taken orally.
We
have prepared Henna in capsules now at home and used it as a prophylaxis against
Flu during last Hajj and we think it helped, as we did not get the infection
while most people got Hajj Flu that is usually a severe one. But this is too
early to be sure about and needs more trials.
OTHER USES OF HENNA:
Henna can be used as a prophylaxis
especially to protect diabetic patients feet, I routinely now advice my diabetic
patients to use henna at least once a month because:
It helps to heal
fissures and cracks in the foot and reduces foot infection.
It improves the
skin texture, which look healthier and softer.
It may delay the neuropathy
effect of diabetes; in fact it may reverse the early ones. This needs more time
to prove.
Henna could be used in the following
areas:
1- Back pain
2- for ulcerative colitis as enema.
3- for
bleeding duodenal ulcers.
This is our experience with Henna over the last six
years or more; the most promising is its anti-viral effect that could prove a
breakthrough in modern medicine as a treatment for HIV patients.
